When it comes to NBA talent, who do you think of first, is it LeBron James, the chosen son, or Wiggins, the wolfberry boy? For us in our 90s, Tracy McGrady is definitely in our answers. Let's reminisce about a wave of full-fledged youth.
Maddy entered the NBA draft as a high school student in 1997 and was selected by the Toronto Raptors with the 9th pick in the lottery, and has since begun his career.
Maddy's height of 2.03 meters, 2.21m arm span, vertical jump height of 1.10 meters, and the first step speed of the speechless are the conditions for the historical level of talent of the shooting guard; Maddy's career coach Van Gundy and Rivers agree that Maddy's scoring ability is outstanding, the overall view is first-class, can grab rebounds, can score, can transmit, is the most technical player he has coached; player Kobe Bryant evaluates Maddy as his most difficult player, durant always imitates Maddy to play, and regards Maddy as an idol. Maddy teammate Grant Hill thinks Maddy is the most talented player he has ever met, even Kobe Jordan has to lean to the side, what is recognized talent, this is!
1. The Raptors period
Although Maddy is talented, but the high school students into the NBA body is too thin, resulting in the Raptors in the first two seasons can not enter the state of the game, so the humble Maddy called Kobe for help, the same as high school students into the league, Kobe gave Maddy a lot of advice and help, which is one of the reasons why Kobe and Maddy have always had a good relationship, after accepting Kobe's opinion, in the 99 to 00 season, Maddy performed by leaps and bounds, teamed up with cousin Carter, and brought the Fish Belly Team Raptors into the playoffs, due to lack of experience in the playoffs , 0-3 was swept by New York, the losing Maddy was unwilling, the young and crazy heart touch made him leave the Raptors, leaving Carter's team to find a team that really belonged to him, so Maddy left the Raptors to join the Orlando Magic.
There were not many honors during the Maddie Raptors era
2. Magic period
After coming to the magic, Maddy and Grant Hill joined forces to create a spectator basketball that was flowing at that time, which actually had a small episode, that is, at that time, Duncan was also joined the magic with Maddy, and in terms of later performance, the magic with Maddy, Duncan, and Granthill could definitely become the dynasty team that was very popular at that time, but it was a trick, just in the last round of negotiations of Duncan, Duncan only asked one question, that is, his family can fly with the team in some games. But at that time, magic head coach Dow Rivers, that is, the coach of the 76ers, replied no, it was a pity [halo], 00 to 01 season with Grant Hill's injury, Maddy has unlimited firing rights and real absolute leadership status, Maddy's data has also been greatly improved, averaging 26.8 points per game, winning the Fastest Improving Player Award, the second team of the year and the All-Star team, and led the team to the playoffs, and in the next 3 years, he led the team to the playoffs Not only that, the 02-03 season Maddy officially entered the killing mode, the first generation of death was born, averaging 32.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists per game, and won the single-season regular season scoring king, this data was at that time advocating defense in the league, the difficulty is unimaginable, but also the first high school scoring king in NBA history, the first round of the playoffs against the Pistons, Maddy led the Magic to lead 3-1 with a big score, everyone looked forward to Maddy to cash in on the talent when the time came, May be arrogant Maddy but made a proud mistake, the interview publicly said that he is already considering the next round of opponents, this word completely angered the Pistons, the situation was completely turned over, the Pistons continued to win 3 games, reverse win, Maddy was once again hit to the bottom, although the 03 to 04 season Maddy once again won the scoring king, and broke one after another the youngest record, but also let people remember his signature one-handed grab and dry jump shot smart and flowing, but in the end still can not lead the team to win, Unable to recruit a competent helper, Maddy once again considered his future and chose to join the Rockets.
